Buying a new mold

I used to think RN's were OK, and for sure you are right about them being able to mess things up, but since I have learned that flatnose bullets WHICH HAVE ENOUGH MEPLAT are so much more effective, and feed just as reliably, I won't use rn's not even in a 22 rimfire for small critters. The big wakeup for me was when I popped a slaughter cow in the forehead with a 45 acp shooting factory jacketed rn, or ball ammo. She folded, I turned around, laid the gun on a barrel and picked up a knife to slit her throat, but she was up and coming toward me. I switched equipment on the double and burned the hair off her forehead with the next shot, which worked very professionally. Moral to the story is. I missed the brain by half an inch with the RN and it wasn't good enough. Had it been one of my flatnose bullets she'd have stayed down for the count, because the skull would have been crushed for an inch in all directions from the bullets path. As for penetration. The flatnose will go deeper than the RN, given the same bullet weight and velocity. Why? Because the Flatnose is going through empty space, it's flat haveing sprayed everything in its path to the side. If its going through flesh there will be around a 3/4 inch hole all the way through, all if it giving rapid blood loss. With decent body hits this means incapacitation before the gun comes out of recoil. The RN leaves such a tiny wound one has to keep the eyes pealed to track it through an animal he is butchering, and because it isn't displacing the tissue ahead of it, like a large flatnose, the tissue drags the side of the bullet slowing its penetration faster than the flatnose. I sincerely hope this little explaination and account make a few people more nervious about carring RN ammo for defense perposes. Most TC bullet have such a small meplat that they aren't much better than RNs.
